I am 20 weeks pregnant with a healthy baby boy. I felt him move for the first time about 3 weeks ago. That "fluttering" feeling that you get. Yeah, I got that. I've thought I've even felt "him" move like kicking or something. I'm not sure. This is my first pregnancy and not real sure on what I should be 'feeling' for anyways. If anyone could help me out. I've read other questions and answers about moving and MOST of them say around 20-22 weeks. Should I be worried? What should I be? Umm, just wondering. Please someone help! :) Thanks!

I am 20 weeks and have a healthy pregnancy also but I really haven't felt much movement either just little stuff every once in awhile. I have been told that with a first pregnancy the baby is usually small so it is hard to feel movement until later. When a person has had more than one pregnancy you are supposed to feel movement much earlier. Good Luck! I am sure your doctor would have said something if they were concerned.

I am 28 weeks, and I had the same fears as you. From what I have read, any movement is good movement, some things will take longer if this is your first or if you are overweight. I didn't REALLY start to feel my baby move until about 22 weeks or so. Once you feel ( or see!) a couple of good kicks, you will be reassured. If you are nervous, drink a sugary drink (juice or a coke), lie on your left side and concentrate and you will be amazed at how often he will move that you don't normally notice. He should move at least 4x in one hour, the first time I did this test my boy moved about 10 times in 5 minutes.
Hope this helps!

Don't be concerned...my little one didn't start moving around until I was between 26-28 weeks. I remember I went to the doctor freaking out and he just laughed at me and assured me everything was alright. The flutters happen at first but then intensify to the point where you can actually feel your baby hiccup, kick, turn, etc. It takes a while before you will feel it all. My daughter used to get the hiccups about 12am and it would keep me awake for hours so don't wish it too soon!!!
Enjoy!

No worries. You're fine. 4th/5th month is usally when you feel movement. Right now there is more womb than baby, so he's free to move without "bumping into anything". The fluttering is the occassional touch against your abdoman. As he begins to fill that space, the movement will be more noticable.
Good luck.
